In Japan, a number of Umamusume: Pretty Derby balance adjustments came up around the first anniversary of the game, and Cygames announced that rebalancing update will arrive early in the global release alongside the worldwide Half Anniversary Celebration. That patch will appear on November 11, 2025. The majority of the adjustments affect Career mode, both in terms of rewards, choices, bad conditions, Trainee events, and Support card events. However, general races are also affected due to the addition of new systems and skill activation changes.
Essentially, many of the Career balance adjustments in Umamusume seem to deal with situations that might have seemed unfair prior to the update, ensuring rebalancing adjusts Support Card deck event appearance rates, increases parameter gains, and odds of healing poor conditions. Especially notable is that Career events might cure conditions, Etsuko Otonashi Training could remove Slacker, and opting to rest could heal some status effects.
As for the changes that affect actual races, many of those adjustments involve the trigger conditions for learned skills. However, there are some general adjustments that will influence every mode. Dueling and Spot Struggle systems will be enabled to create more pressure when passing in some situations. Guts will finally become more useful, as it will affect someone’s performance in the “last spurt.” In general, navigation and endurance skills will become more valuable, due to the former affecting passing and latter increasing strength.
Umamusume: Pretty Derby is available for the PC and mobile devices, and the major balance adjustment will bring rebalancing changes to Career and races worldwide on November 11, 2025. You can see the dozens of changes in the full November 11, 2025 Umamusume: Pretty Derby balance adjustments patch notes that go over Career, racing, Trainee, and skill rebalancing on the official site.
